red goult

cemetery at goult (oil on board (23cm x 23cm) David Atkinson

Here I have spun the colour wheel in my head a bit, in order to examine some colour relationships. As we know, colour is relative in the sense that it is always dependent on it's context. I have simply converted all the colours to their complementary opposite, so green becomes red, blue becomes orange etc. I was wondering whether the relationships, one colour to another, still held. This painting took me about 20 minutes and was made in situ.

I am an artist living and working in the south of france. This is an occasional blog to share anything that I stumble across, in my own work or anywhere else. Let's see what happens.
